Slakey Brothers

Slakey Brothers has stocked the Rogue Valley with heating and plumbing supplies since 1939, building nearly nine decades of continuous operation as a family-owned regional wholesale distributor. Based in Elk Grove, California with 22 branches spanning California, Oregon, and Nevada, this supplier serves contractor partners across the West including Medford and surrounding Southern Oregon communities. The company maintains a 4.1-star rating drawn from nine customer reviews, positioning itself as a trusted behind-the-scenes partner for professional HVAC and plumbing installers rather than a direct-to-consumer service call.

What distinguishes Slakey Brothers from typical supply houses is their breadth of brand partnerships and the depth of technical support they offer contractor customers. Their testimonials reference an impressive catalog spanning residential and commercial systems, with reviewer Chris Yontz specifically noting their expertise in both plumbing and heating equipment. The company operates training facilities staffed by what they describe as an award-winning tech services team, offering ongoing education for contractor partners. Their nearly 85-year operating history speaks to sustained relationships with regional installers who return generation after generation.

Customer stories from their reviews point to the people who make Slakey Brothers work for contractor partners. Kenny Hicks describes the staff as consistently helpful with excellent product selection for tricky HVAC situations, while Charles Gavero cites the personalized customer service and willingness to help locate specific parts. Lewis Dangreau reports a 20-year relationship with the company, praising the staff's knowledge, helpfulness, and friendly demeanor. These long-standing contractor relationships suggest a supplier who has earned continued business through reliable product availability and team expertise.
